Putting everything that happened in that half out of our mind this is the absolute fact: We have not played well, but we are 7 points down. That’s all we can think about right now. 

Quite a few players need to lift. Jones is butchering it in close, Hogan is having a stinker. Seedsman being out for the rest of the game gives me a little comfort, one less slick ball user to worry about. Ruck duel looks pretty even at the moment. 

 

Disposals: (half time)

Smith 2

Fritsch, Jetta 3

Vince 4

Spargo 5

Hogan 6

JKH, Salem, Tyson 7

and the Jones lovers will cream themselves over his 14 - with 4 turnover kicks and 10 x 1m handballs. The captain, absolutely putrid.

How we are only 7 points down is beyond me. Those players above should hang their heads in shame.

Smith has a future. Because he gets there. What is it 9 games in? Preferably lever and hibberd would be in with him filling a less important role. No pressure coming into defense hurts all defenders. Cant see us winning this, crows midfield all over us.

He is one player that has a red hot crack every time he is in which is more than you can say for others but he is just too small and limited which is a shame

he jogs around all game 20m behind his opponent, is extremely soft and can't lay a tackle, I hope the kid makes it but he doesn't deserve another game this year

Everyone's complaining about JKH, Garlett, Spargo, and Smith. I'm over here wondering when Jesse Hogan is going to show up.

Amen. Wouldn’t kill him to stand up and win us a game. 


I've noticed that Adelaide's players have tried to put body on us at every contest. Good move by them because they're a mature team with body strength and we consist of Tom McDonald, Max Gawn, about 10 twenty-year old stars, and a bunch of old spuds.

If we manage to stick some tackles on the likes of Mileara we will be in here. Jones has to lift and umpires definitely need to lift, some shockers so far.

Is Hogan scared to kick? Jesus he just ruined that ball move.

Smith is doing his role

You mean the first year player doing more this year than many experienced players on our list?

Seriously NFI

he's done nothing tonight 

What I see most is the fumble's its what costing us.  It like the ball is slippery, but the crows look fine with in hand.

We ae slowly getting on top but need to get in front and push further ahead.

He’s laid 5 til half time but don’t let stats get on the way if your story. 

As poorly as we've played, there is only a kick in it.

If we can switch on and convert more inside 50s we can win. Story of our season unfortunately

I don’t often come on here during a game and this will be my last post. You guys are pathetic under pressure. Did you expect Adelaide to roll over? They’re a quality side at home, in form for a spot in the eight. It’s going to be tough but I’m confident we’ve got this

The ironic thing is that when we were an awful team, Jones epitomized our absolute best.

Now that we're actually decent, he epitomizes our worst.

If someone askee, "How did Melbourne play in the first half?" you could show them a Jones highlight package from the game so far and that would answer their question.

And JKH hasn’t been as bad as some say. Can see some of Neville Jetta in him. Could be our next small defender.

Only in a non parallel universe. 

JKH is a VFL player not even close to Jets. 


I’m beginning to realise we are not very good

Smith is fine imo

Hogan is having a shocker; playing from behind is not what any forward should be doing

Jones has been poor thus far, but if he and the likes of Salem can lift, we’re doing okay cos somehow we’re only just over a goal down and we’re playing some TERRIBLE football

Really need to get Melksham involved more in the play - apart from one muffed kick he’s a weapon getting it i50

You could have said the same of Jetta in 2013.

beginning? surely the st kilda game would've clearly showed you that! or the fact we haven't made finals for 12 years

Mate, it's the game day thread. Every emotion possible is on display. This not the thread to judge


We’re ‘good ordinary’ - same as them

That whole clutch of sides from basically 5-12 is super, super even, and we’re right in that mix

Season on the lines Dees ( why is it always so !! )

Put up or book your Bali flights now fellas.

But maybe try just a few of the footy basics first lads...go on...you might like it ;)

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
